It has been an exhausting week as we have worked 12 hours shifts with bride 22A. It was good that we stopped a couple of hours earlier, due to the choppy waves. We have been told that tomorrow we will be starting late tomorrow due to possible poor weather.
9:30 p.m.
The wind has picked up a quiet a bit in the last hour. We are becoming a little concerned over the lack of shelter for the men and all we have are tents and a few sheds to protect ourselves from the weather.
